Governor Cuomo's New Housing Proposals: Governor Cuomo introduced budget legislation this week calling for ending high rent/high income decontrol, repealing preferential rent provisions, and limiting major capital improvement charges based on a report to be prepared by the Division of Housing and Community Renewal on or after March 1st. The Governor’s agenda, laid out in his State of the State address Tuesday, also includes enacting statewide legislation prohibiting source of income discrimination and limiting security deposits to one month on all apartments, not just regulated ones. He would also bar housing built with state aid from using credit scores to screen tenants.
